The shape of a hunt
Johnessy keeps hunts short and frequent. Across 21 finished hunts the average is 15 bonuses, collected and opened in one stream, which keeps the whole arc inside a single sitting for viewers.
Each hunt starts the same way: a starting balance and the casino are set in StreamNeeds before the first spin, so the break-even on the overlay means something from the first bonus onwards.
The numbers so far
These are Johnessy's hunts recorded live on stream between May 2026 and October 2026. Test hunts and hunts with fewer than five results are left out. The figures update as new hunts finish.
The spread is the useful part. The middle result sits well below 100x, which is why a hunt needs a handful of big hits to break even and why viewers stay for the end.
- 282 bonuses opened across 202 different slots
- 92 of them paid 100x or more (33%)
- The middle result was 55.5x — half paid more, half paid less
- The biggest was 2,694x on The Crypt
- Most-opened studios: Hacksaw Gaming (50), Pragmatic Play (23), Nolimit City (12)
Viewers pick the slots
Chat chooses a large part of every hunt. 118 of the 309 bonuses in these hunts came straight from viewer slot requests, moved from the request queue into the hunt with one click.
Guess the balance runs alongside: viewers made 100 guesses on these hunts, and the closest guess wins points.
Less typing during the opening
On supported casinos the StreamNeeds browser extension reads each bonus result off the casino page and writes it into the hunt, so the overlay updates without anyone typing. 87 of the results above were recorded that way; the rest were entered by hand or by a mod.
Every hunt, result by result
The hunts behind these numbers are published one by one on Johnessy Slots, with every bonus and its multiplier, plus slot pages that show how often each game hit 100x across hunts recorded with StreamNeeds.
